to indulge in some remarks sboat “double

Major Hargrove, in his card, which

P*P* r - A ,
The extent of the fmnds and tho num
ber of persons implicated, wrhich have
ainco been developed, was not then
known. Major bfl&eved be had
“spotted” something like twenty thou
sand dollars, and that he could recover
it He desired to undertake it and
wished to be authoritatively employed to
do so. This is all.
The next paper in this huge “ mare’s
nest ” is as follows :
Atlovta, July 12, 1871.
To the Oomni.ttonert on Clmms W. d A. R. R.:
Osina—I hereby propo«« to examine into and dis
cover any error* or omiaalona that may be found to
exist In the settlement or disbursements of the
Western and Atlantic Bailroad, old administration,
Including claims lying dormant or supposed to be
ancdUectable. for a commission of *U per cent. ~
all sums collected c r adjusted.
The above proposttiuu ia made for services entire
ly outside of any duty I may owe to mid Western
and Atlantic Bailroad aa ite general bookkeeper.
Respectfully, Casa. T. McCaua.
This paper was presented to tlie Audi-
ting Board of State Hoad Olainu, for
tbeir sanction. He knew of old debts
and balances which seemed to bo lost
sight of, some of which he believed
were collectable, and ho desired to under
taka tbo same for compensation—in
whieli we see nothing criminal—no evi
dence of an intention to perpetrate fraud.
At the foot of this proposition thus
made, and on the Bnmo sheet of paper,
the following is written:
Wo strongly recommend tin* acceptance of within
proposition, and do hereby accept it
a legally do so.
This waa intended for the Board to
«ign, which they declined to do, upon the
ground that they had no authority to
make such a contract, uud tbut to give it
their sanction, by signing the recommen
dation, waa outside of the duties assigned
them by the Legislature, though all ex
pressed an earnest desiro to have tho in
vestigation made, and did not object to
compensation being given for the service.
Major McCallu then submitted the fol
lowing:
Atuimta, July 12,1871.
Cummistumers tf Claimi against IK. d A. Railroad:
dents—Believing that sumo error exists iu certain
accounts of the Western A Atlantic Railroad that are
lying dormant or entirely unknown, I propose to
examine such matter* iu iny leisure hours, aud if
possible, establish such errors aud claims for a
era! compensation, if successful. Respectfully,
(’HAS. P. MoCalx
Aud to this the following indorsement
was uttuched:
Should Mr. McCalls render auy service outside of
the current service due the Western A Atlantic Rail
road, the Board would recommend a liberal com-
pteusstiou lor said service, if successful in securiug
amounts * ,J 1 " > - *—» •-
the ruod.
A grt at deal haa been wbiapered about
tlieae paper*. Wo knew all nliont tlicir
existence and their exact natnro loug ago.
The committee, in turning over to
Major Mol'. !il» private papers, decided
that tlieae three were pertaining to the
rood,and retained them. McCallu claimed
them os private, I ml had no objection t<
their remaining in the hands of the com
mittee; neither did ho object to any one
seeing them.
There lias boon a porBiatout cll'ort on
tho part of somo who are implicated in
the State ltond embezzlements and their
frauds, to blast the reputatioujand blacken
the character of McCallu, since he com
meneed the prosecution of delinquents.
It resulted in bis arrest, because lie did
not make entries on books—the muking
of which would have been prims facie
evidence of a jrimlnsl intention. This
arrest was at tho instance of Col. Farrow,
in doing which ho showed that lie did
not understand Bookkeeping—also, that
ho failed to fully comprehcnd.what were
McCallu'a duties.
On Saturday Col. Farrow Baked for a
copy of those ) spers. Tho committee
decided that ho was entitled to the same.
McCallu aud his oonnsol, after looming
tho purpoao for which copies were desir
ed, demurred. Col. Farrow demanded
it, aud MoOalla positively objected, and
at ottoo sued out a possessory warrant,
upon whieh tho entire committco was
arrest< d and brought before Judge Uutt.
Xlte following is AloCulla'a affidavit:

Upon this tho warrant was issued, and
the case is Bet down for u hearing on
Wednesday, at 10 o'clock.
The papers are in possession of Judge
Butt, but Maj. Hargrove has furnished
the foregoing oopiej to the Press—having
no oonoealments to make.
New we have this remark to make :
When men undertake to perpetrate
frauds, or do dishonorable things, wheth
er singly or by several combining, the
firat thing aimed at is conmdmcnt. No
man ever yet entered upon a project of
rascality by entering into, or proposing a
written agreement oonoerniug its terms,
a jj ami submitting the some to honest men
Mor their sanction, aud by telling others
of tho oxistuooe and nature of such
writiejp.
If Itf.g 'aJtt, aud Hargrove had aimed ut
doing a criminr 1 , or even a mean thing,
ao writing wonld have b« m made and loft
where othera could find it As Hargrove
justly remarks, they are tho highest ev
idences of integrity—jute aa UcOalia’s
A Mistake.
The Conelilutiun, of yesterday, com
menting u]>on the arrest of Messrs. Red-
wine, Rawson and Hammock, bus somo
comments, whieh must have been made
through haste, without mature considera
tion und investigation—so it teems to ne.
It clearly makes insinuations against Mc
Calla and Hargrove, which, with the
lights before us, ore uot just to them.—
It says:
ft HP* ,
that Mr. McCalla haa bfjeu after 20 per cent of tho
Htate Road frauds, aud proposes a divisiou with Ma
jor Hargrove.”
Also:
“Whether this is a test question over unimportant
papers that may, if successful, embolden an attempt
In got other and more important papers in the com
mittee's hands aa private papers, Is still another
question. Whether this movement of Mr. McCalla
was a big speculation to make a round sum that th«
Statu is entitled to, and which the Bute's officers, if
vigilant, could get, is still auother matter.”
It then prejudges tho case by saying:
“One thing is very certain, and that is, that no pa
pers connected with the transaction iu any way are
private psper*. The public has a right to thorn all,
aud the effort to withdraw them from the commit
tee’s possusHiim creates a suspicion in the minds of
tho impartli 1. Tho Idea very naturally arises that
something is behind that will not bear scrutiny.”
These are the remarks to which Maj.
Hargrove replies this morning.

Now, the Hon. A. U. Stephens, notic'ng this iden
tical t.eclaraUon of the California Democratic plot-
rm, a few days since, said “this is our position ex-
:tly.”—Columbus Enquirer, 13M Sept.
Now, tho Hon. A. H. Stephens, no
ticing “the California Democratic Plat
form, a few days since, ” said no such
thing I A. H. S.
[Atlanta Sun, With.
Such “double-shuffling” ou the
mrt of Mr. Stephens is surprising,
twill be seen that his denial does
uot meet our assertion at all. Iu
dealing with u lawyer wo must, of
course, look out for “special plead
ing;” but a man of Mr. Stephens’
character aud ability ought to drop
all lawyer tricks in editing a news
paper.
To show tliut Mr. Stephens could
not, without the plainest exhibition
of tergiversation, have denied that he
accepted “the identical declaration”
of tlie California platform which we
said he accepted, wo refer again to his
paper of tho 4th of September,
that paper he published a letter from
a California correspondent, in which
the correspondent wrote to him:
“We nay in t.ur platform, ‘lliat we regard tli
Heveral niiiuiuluioute to tlie ('oiiHtitiitiou ri
adopted aa a Huttlemeut in fact of oil tlie iniuuH of tlie
war, and that tue nanio are uo longer Ihhuoh before
the country,' and thla aeema to meet with Home ob-
ioctora throughout tho country. 1 do not believe
that a Hiugle meinlter of our Htate Convention meant
to May that the aiucndmeuU were right aud Just, or
that lie indorsed them; nor do I believe that out
would have taken the oath of the Medea and Per
Miami, never to change the Uouatltutiou when they
lluil it oppressive, and have power to do ho. Wo all
look on the I Mli Amendment an unjuat and un-Amur-
nan. in taking the control ol HuHnige from tho
the Ntatca, but at present the amendmente aro in
Rill foree, with the whole government aud army to
euforeo them “
To this Mr. Stephens, in the same
paper, responds:
“Our correspondent says that tho Cal
iforuia Democrats, in their Slate plat
form, iutcud only to declare tlie three
amendments ore 'a settlement in fact of
all the issues of tlie war,' oto., and not to
aver that limy bad boon aihqited accord
ing to law, or tbut they were iu them
selves cither just or right. On tlie con
trary, he Hays that they huv« ‘an abiding
faith in the intelligence of the people to
pronouuco them null and void ut somo
future day.’ This is ourj/ositivn exactly.
As late as Saturday morning last,
the lOlli inst, Mr. Stephens repeated,
with approval, in his paper, an
other extract from the same edito
rial, which we have heretofore quo
ted, and which is in spirit a repetition
of "the identical declaration” of the
California platform which we said
that he accepted "exactly.” Here is
what he repealed on Saturday last:
"Wo liuve no objection to those who
accejU tho 'fraudulent amendments' as
existing facts, while the administration
of the Government is in tlm bunds of
(lioso who are clothed witli povvur to en
force them, bnt who do not indorse them
as finalities. Wo hail as friends all those
who acquiesce in them as de facto, but
not dejure porta of tlie organic law.”
Mr. Stepheus not only repeated
this on Saturday last, but endeavored
to show, by quoting from his former
editorials, tliut he was of the same
mind when he first took charge of
Thk Atlanta Sun. Is this consis
tent with a denial of “the identical
declaration ?’’
